Types of Ceramic Wall Tiles
The widely used ceramic wall tiles can be categorized into glazed and unglazed Ceramic Wall Tiles.
Glazed
These have a shiny layer which gives a lustrous look to the tile, along with the colour, patterns, designs, shades and precise finishing. They are hard and slip-resistant in nature.
Unglazed
These are of uniform solid colour and thickness. Generally they are not available with patterns or designs.
The other types of Ceramic Wall tiles are Mosaic and Porcelain.
Mosaic
Small ceramic tiles, build with coloured stones being pressed and processed and layered with glass and sold in sheets. These come with a number of designs and patterns of the layering and colouring of the stones on them.
Porcelain
These are completely compact and maybe glazed or unglazed. The benefit of using these tiles are that they are frost proof.
Properties
Before finalising the tiles for your walls, you should ensure that they are durable and should retain their lustre and shine. So these are the below features you should check before you finalise on the tiles for your home:
Stone or slate
Tiles can be carved out of stones or slate, as a result of which they are either too hard or too soft. Most tiles need sealing, polishing, or both. They are available in different colours, shapes, shades, thickness and lengths.
Shade
Each and every tile differ from each other even if they belong to the same group. So generally people mix and match, like 3 or 4 boxes to mix up the tiles, to decorate their rooms.
Stains
For kitchens, generally unglazed tiles are preferred since around the kitchen area stains mostly occur. So select your tiles carefully with respect to the colour and physical properties. If you go for glazed ones make sure to maintain them.
Crazing
Hairline cracks below the shiny layer of glazed tiles is what is known as crazing. Movement, strong heat or cold temperatures, or adhesive usage cause crazing in the tiles. No glazed tile can guarantee you non-crazing. So, be careful so that your beautiful tiles don’t craze! A little bit of care is all it takes!
